Short filmTranscript
00:00...of the last eight years.
00:02Dr. Larson. She's the reason we're here.
00:04If I'd had my memories, none of this would have happened.
00:07My home is the house where Michael lives with his new wife and baby.
00:11Half of me is trapped in that time, and the other half wants a man I don't even remember.
00:18I get you want Jake, and to be the doctor you were.
00:21I had a memory. I need all of it back.
00:24Put me in the tank.
00:30I'm ready without a break.
00:32How far along?
00:34Oh, I'm not sure.
00:36Or your OB should be able to tell you.
00:38Yeah, I don't have one.
00:47You all right?
00:50I've been having stomach pains.
00:52Some of my sisters said I should get it checked out, so I'm on my way to Westside Hospital.
01:00It seems like someone's really trying to get a hold of you.
01:06I think not everyone wanted me to leave.
01:10And where are you from?
01:15I'm really not supposed to stay.
01:16Anything?
01:33Nothing.
01:35Let me out.
01:36Listen, one memory means more are possible, but that one took months, so maybe try to be patient.
01:48It's just an issue of me remembering who I am, so I have a prayer of somehow being whole.
01:54No biggie.
01:56It's been a rough 24 hours.
01:58Why don't you go home and get some rest?
02:00Oh, you!
02:18Joan!
02:18When did you get back?
02:20Yesterday.
02:21Jet lag's killing me.
02:23I feel like I had two more weeks.
02:24Five months is enough of Burma, you know?
02:27Even I'd probably stay home from work the day after being held hostage.
02:30Oh, you wouldn't.
02:31Anyway, I'm not working.
02:32I was just too tired to make it out the door.
02:34Well, you look fantastic.
02:36You can't even tell you were in a car wreck.
02:37You have to be inside my head for that.
02:39Look.
02:40So I guess you're not jockeying for the old job just yet?
02:43Are you kidding?
02:45I'm an intern now.
02:47Come.
02:47There's some infants I want you to meet.
02:49Allow me to introduce my students, uh, David, Ava, Sam.
02:56So you're the legendary Dr. Amy Larson.
02:58You know who I am?
02:59Best pupil she's ever had.
03:00And the gold standard we should all aspire to.
03:03Though sadly we will never measure up.
03:06All that time you were looking at your phones, you were actually listening to me.
03:10Okay, onward, my motley crew.
03:25You're working today?
03:27Um, yeah.
03:28I just figured it'd be good for morale.
03:30What about you?
03:31I just wanted to see TJ.
03:33Then I'm going on the crash.
03:36Well, um, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then.
03:58I can't take it anymore.
04:00Like, I've tried everything.
04:02Uh, sugar, vinegar, holding my breath, pulling my tongue, even digital rectal massage.
04:07Is that a thing?
04:09Modern medicine, sadly, hiccups still mystify most practitioners, forcing us to rely on silly home remedies.
04:16Which is why I am compelled to introduce these wannabes and myself.
04:20Hi, I'm Dr. Ridley.
04:22I'll take a cure from anyone.
04:23Well, thankfully, Dr. Ridley's not just anyone.
04:26She's an instructor of medicine and surgery with privileges here at Westside.
04:29So, apparently, this poor soul has had hiccups for 11 days.
04:33Right on cue.
04:35Still a long way from the world record.
04:3768 years.
04:38Uh, not helpful.
04:39Even worse.
04:40Irrelevant.
04:41Sam?
04:42Family history of hiccups?
04:44There's absolutely no genetic conditions that cause this.
04:47Can't you anything?
04:48All negative.
04:49No stroke or MS.
04:50Hardly inspiring, David.
04:52Wow me, Ava.
04:53Adam, any chance you recall the events leading up to the hiccups?
04:56Yeah.
04:57It was, uh, Sunday.
04:59Gonna have a routine.
05:00Woke up.
05:02Denver omelet.
05:03Went to the gym.
05:04So, no one's gonna ask about the tattoos?
05:07Are they medically relevant?
05:08You can't know unless you ask.
05:10And anyone with that many tattoos wants you to ask.
05:13So, what's your story?
05:14I am an artist.
05:15Mm.
05:16Uh, about three years ago, I lost my studio in a fire, along with all my work.
05:20Look, so I started to use my body as a canvas.
05:24Now I can never lose my art.
05:27Trust my mind.
05:28Let's see what we can do about that.
05:30Dr. made to try baclofan for hiccups.
05:33It's like a sledgehammer.
05:35Subtlety's overrated.
05:39Hey there.
05:40I was looking for you.
05:41Why aren't you home?
05:43I'm heading there now.
05:44I just, we, we didn't get a chance to talk last night.
05:47No, we didn't.
05:48This is big for you, Michael, and I wanted to say congrats.
05:55Thank you, Amy.
05:57How's it, Amy?
05:59Good.
06:00Good.
06:01Does he have a name yet?
06:02Still working on it.
06:05I'd, uh, I'd better get back.
06:09I'm so glad you're okay.
06:10Dr. Larson?
06:25Sorry, I just, can you come take a look at my patient?
06:28All the OBs are busy, and there's something weird.
06:30Megan, this is Dr. Larson.
06:36Nice to meet you.
06:37Um, so what's going on?
06:40She's presenting with abdominal pain, soreness, and nausea.
06:44The ER gave her meds to ease the pain.
06:46My doula wasn't worried, but I just want to make sure my baby's okay.
06:50So you don't have a doctor?
06:52Where I live, it's a tight-knit community, kind of off the grid.
06:56We don't believe in traditional medicine.
07:00I know what you're thinking, but, uh...
07:02Our only concern is that you and your baby get what you need.
07:05We do.
07:06Moms-to-be are given the priority.
07:08I get the best food, longest showers, warmest blankets.
07:11Um, I'd love to take a look, so I'm going to do another ultrasound.
07:22So, um, no one came with you?
07:26No.
07:27My baby's dad left a few months ago.
07:30He doesn't live with us anymore.
07:32It's okay.
07:33I'm really lucky.
07:35My kid will be raised by 20 people instead of just two.
07:39Um, this shouldn't take well.
07:40Oh, it's so long.
07:43Sorry.
07:54I need help.
07:55Why are you still here?
07:56I was sleeping, but I got pulled into a consult.
07:59Okay.
08:00Patient is presenting as seven months pregnant.
08:03Rounded belly, pronounced breast changes, sensation of fetal movement.
08:07Came in with abdominal pain.
08:09Worried about the baby.
08:10And what did the ultrasound show?
08:12A concerning mass.
08:13We need a CT and a biopsy right away.
08:16So why do you need me?
08:17Because of what it didn't show.
08:19There's no baby in her uterus.
08:22Blood work shows that there never was.
08:24What are you doing here?
08:30Uh, I just...
08:31I can't right now.
08:33Just give me a minute.
08:37Did you start my patient on furosemide?
08:41Yeah.
08:41Her O2 sats were dropped.
08:43She has chronic kidney failure.
08:45I checked her lab.
08:46She looked like she did handle a gentle diuresis.
08:48She's already at an 8 centimeter.
08:49You just doubled down on renal risk.
08:51Which is why I started her on vasopress.
08:53That raised her blood pressure, but didn't address her heart failure or low ejection fraction.
08:57So what did she need, Dr. Clark?
09:03Do you have any idea what you're doing?
09:08An eindentrope.
09:10Now I have to explain to her daughter why she has a tube jammed down her trachea when she was turning a corner this morning.
09:18Lucy, 7-0-E-T-T, Atonimate and Sucks, stat.
09:21This is the big leagues, Brian.
09:23If you're going to bring your double-A game, the least you could do is consult me when you're covering one of my patients.
09:27Well, we can't all be as brilliant as you.
09:29No, that's why you call me.
09:31I assume you can handle the intubation.
09:36So what did you tell her?
09:37Nothing.
09:38I don't know how long she's been living in this sect or cult or whatever it is, or what she knows about medicine.
09:44Okay, good.
09:45Because pseudocytosis has to be handled very delicately.
09:48The safest path forward is to treat Megan as if she's really pregnant.
09:51Lie to her.
09:52Yes.
09:54And throw full disclosure out the window.
09:56Do no harm has to come first.
09:57I'm not sure that enabling a delusion qualifies as do no harm.
10:01This is a delusion so powerful her body's compensated for it.
10:05Telling her the truth now could have her bolt before you can even biopsy the mass.
10:09But won't feeding a delusion this deep make breaking it even harder?
10:14Yes.
10:15And when that time comes, I'll help her confront it.
10:18But because you're the one lying to her, you'll have to rip off the band-aid.
10:21What's wrong?
10:31I think I'm having a delayed reaction to the tank.
10:33You're having memories?
10:34I mean, they're not like the memories that I had when I was with Alex.
10:36They're just weird flashes without any context.
10:40Like a piece of cake, a glass of wine, flowers.
10:43I think I'm in a restaurant, but I have no idea with who or why it matters.
10:48If they're triggered by your environment, it's probably good you stay here today.
10:51Maybe you'll get a hit that gives you some clarity.
10:56How about Sean?
10:59Are you a Sean?
11:02No, he doesn't like that one either.
11:04He's rolled out all my names so far.
11:07Ryan, Archie, Sutton.
11:09No, I wasn't going to name my son Sutton.
11:10How about Simon?
11:20For my dad.
11:24Hey, new parents.
11:26Congrats.
11:27Can I steal him a moment?
11:29I assume you mean Michael?
11:32So, when are you taking your paternity leave?
11:34I figured in a month or two when the baby nurse leaves.
11:37Sooner is better.
11:39Like today.
11:40Is this about what happened with Yunos?
11:42You put our accreditation at risk and you left me and the board unprepared to deal with the fallout.
11:47I'm sorry.
11:48You did what you could under impossible circumstances.
11:51That's what I've told everyone.
11:53Because you've been here seven months and I'm the one who hired you, I will take the heat if we need to make a change.
11:58You can't be serious.
11:59Take your paternity leave now.
12:01Let the smoke clear.
12:02And by the time you get back, the board will have moved on to a different target.
12:05What about a new chief?
12:06I'd like that to be my hire.
12:08You can wait.
12:09And if I find someone, I'll give you a chance at betting them.
12:13Now go, be with your family.
12:15Hey there.
12:23Hey.
12:25My mom's to her?
12:28Where else would I be?
12:30Hi, baby.
12:32You feeling okay?
12:33Yeah.
12:33You didn't tell Liz any family secrets, did you?
12:37Well, actually, she told me all about your obsessions with Uncrustables.
12:41Hey, TJ.
12:43How are you feeling?
12:44Good.
12:45Better when I can get out of here.
12:47What do you think, Doc?
12:47A couple days?
12:49Mind if I have a look?
12:53Oh.
12:54Nice job with the wound closure.
12:56You are healing well, but I'm afraid you need to lower your expectations
13:01about how soon you're getting back to normal.
13:04Your muscle was badly torn up by the bullet.
13:06You're lucky we could save the leg.
13:08You can probably go home in about a week,
13:09but you're going to need a lot of rehab to get your strength back.
13:13How long are we talking?
13:15Maybe six months before you can walk normally again.
13:18About a year before you can run or play sports.
13:21I'll check on you later, but if you need to get up, call someone.
13:25If he knew you like I do, no way it will take that long.
13:35Sure.
13:37I've got to go, but Dad will be by later.
13:38He should still get some rest.
13:41I'm okay.
13:46I know.
13:55How you doing?
13:58I got snacks.
14:00I'm good.
14:01I mean after yesterday.
14:04Been through much worse.
14:06Besides, I'm not the one who got hit in the head.
14:09You got your CT yet?
14:10Yep, all good.
14:12I'm going to take two Tylenol and call myself in the morning.
14:18Listen, about the other day, I...
14:21No, I told you.
14:22We're good.
14:22Anyway, doesn't matter.
14:26Amy and me, we're not together anymore, so...
14:29Oh, I'm sorry.
14:33No, you're not, but thank you for trying.
14:36Well, I am sorry you're hurting, but yeah, you deserve better.
14:42I appreciate it.
14:44This cam will give us a clear picture of what's causing your discomfort.
14:48This is Dr. Walker.
14:50She'll assist.
14:51A few questions before we get started.
14:54When did you know you were pregnant?
14:55Well, I missed my period.
14:57Just thought it was late.
14:59A few weeks after that, I guess, so five months ago.
15:02And when did the pain start?
15:04Three, four weeks ago.
15:07Did your baby have a growth spurt around that time?
15:11Yeah.
15:12That's when I really started showing.
15:13Do you have any family we can contact?
15:16No.
15:16Uh, I was raised in foster care.
15:19Moved around a lot.
15:21I have a brother, but we got separated when I was 11.
15:25Haven't spoken since.
15:26Okay.
15:27Let's get you into the scan.
15:29Oh, good.
15:30I'm not too late.
15:32Anne?
15:33Um, sorry, who are you?
15:34I am Megan's family, and you may not do a CT scan on her.
15:38We don't take orders from you.
15:39It's bad for the baby.
15:41It is?
15:42No.
15:42It's an acceptable level of radiation, given our concerns and what we need to look for.
15:46You need to come home now.
15:48Okay, I will.
15:49Megan.
15:51I'm sorry, Sister Anne.
15:52I just had to make sure the baby's okay.
15:54We'll take care of you both.
15:55You can't trust these people.
15:56She can, and she clearly knows that, or she wouldn't have traveled four hours to get here.
16:01Megan.
16:02I can't put radiation in my baby.
16:04Then we can do an MRI which doesn't use radiation.
16:08Her pain will only get worse if she leaves here without treatment.
16:14Fine.
16:16But where she goes, I go.
16:19Big mistake there?
16:29He's a good doctor.
16:30I'm just tired of running circles around everyone.
16:32Well, I was in the neighborhood.
16:35Thought I'd say hello and show you these.
16:42Tchaikovsky's fifth.
16:43Box right above the string section.
16:45I wish I could go.
16:47Having dinner with Joan.
16:48Can't you reschedule?
16:50Oh, she's only here for two weeks before she goes to Thailand.
16:53Amy.
16:53Katie, I'll go with you.
16:57We need a night out.
16:59For us.
17:01It's three o'clock.
17:03Next time, plan it beforehand.
17:05Look, I need to get back to work.
17:07I will see you at home.
17:08Well, well, look who's back.
17:14Oh, congratulations, Dad.
17:18It's very nice of you to come up here to say that.
17:20Oh, that's not why I came up.
17:22There's the Joan we know and love.
17:23I understand you're in the unenviable position of trying to find a new chief of internal medicine.
17:28So a friend asked me to put in a good word.
17:30Nick Facitelli.
17:32Oh.
17:32I'll have my assistant set up a meeting.
17:34Oh, God, no.
17:35I wouldn't do that to you.
17:36He's awful.
17:37But who else are you looking at?
17:39Well, uh, Tori Davis has great credentials.
17:41She does.
17:42Unfortunately, she's a serial sexual harasser.
17:45Ah.
17:45I mean...
17:47Max also mentioned Joseph Liu.
17:50Oh, he'd be great.
17:52But I'm pretty sure he died three months ago.
17:54Well, not ideal then.
17:56Um, a word of advice.
17:59Don't hire anyone who's asking for it.
18:02And I just want to say congrats and hi.
18:06You're sure this won't hurt the baby?
18:09The MRI is not harmful.
18:10Our goal is to heal people, not hurt them.
18:13I know you don't understand the way we live,
18:15but I will be just as much a mother to that baby as Megan.
18:18I'm sure it'll be wonderful for her to have that support.
18:21When she came to us, she was quite lost.
18:24What?
18:25Everyone can see what this baby has done for her.
18:27Oh, for God's sake, there's no baby.
18:30What are you talking about?
18:32You brainwashed her into needing it to feel special.
18:35And now, here we are.
18:37That is not possible.
18:39She is obviously pregnant.
18:40No.
18:41Megan's suffering from a complex delusion that causes her body to mimic the effects of pregnancy.
18:47It's rare.
18:48So you're manipulating her?
18:49No more than you people are.
18:52And we'd better talk outside.
18:56You all think your way is so much better.
18:58I'm not debating this.
18:59What matters is, Megan, do you care about her?
19:01Of course I do.
19:02Well, she has a tumor.
19:03If we don't treat it, she could die.
19:05That landing?
19:06Now, since you know what a CT is, I'm pretty sure you've heard of a psychotic break.
19:10That's where she's headed if we destroy her fantasy right now.
19:13We need to treat her physically first.
19:14And if I decide to take her someplace else to do that?
19:17You're right.
19:19We don't know you or what's going on, where you're from.
19:22But whatever it is, I have DCYF, state police, and the FBI on speed dial.
19:27So if you even think about trying to move her or breathe one word of this to Megan,
19:31you'll have an army of blue windbreakers knocking down your doors.
19:34I'm assuming that's not what you want.
19:38I need to make a call.
19:4418 inches long, head circumference 30 centimeters.
19:48You're doing great, little buddy.
19:51Assuming the lab tests come back normal, you can take him home today.
19:54Yeah.
19:56Does he look jaundiced to you?
19:59It's faint.
20:00Fairly common.
20:01Yeah, billy light, maybe, just to be safe.
20:04It'll resolve itself in a few hours.
20:07Right.
20:10I do think it would be a good idea to get an echo.
20:12His cardiac auscultation is completely normal.
20:15That would really be unnecessary.
20:20Please.
20:22Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:25Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:27No, okay.
20:29No.
20:31Uh, let me call you back, okay?
20:33We'll find out.
20:33TJ, oh my god, are you okay?
21:00I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
21:01You're not. You've got blood in the drain.
21:03If you had to go to the bathroom, why didn't you call me?
21:05I could do it myself.
21:06You heard Dr. Agassi. You can't.
21:07Don't tell me what I can't do, okay?
21:12Now, the MRI shows that you have a tumor in your abdomen.
21:16Oh no, that's really bad.
21:17We can't know for sure until we perform a biopsy.
21:20What does that mean?
21:21We're going to take a needle and put it into your abdomen.
21:24No, I don't want to do anything if it's going to hurt the baby.
21:26I want to talk to Anne.
21:27Okay, you are going to be a mother.
21:28You need to make decisions for yourself.
21:35Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
21:38I'm sorry.
21:40I'm sorry.
21:43I know that you're just scared.
21:44When I was pregnant with my son, they had to do something similar called an amniocentesis.
21:53Just the idea of the needle going into my stomach, that close to his little body, I was terrified.
21:59But you know what?
22:00He was fine.
22:00And 16 years later, we have amazing technology and even better doctors.
22:08You have nothing to be afraid of.
22:15Is it true you can see the sex from the ultrasound?
22:20Did you see?
22:20Usually, but because of the way the baby was positioned, I couldn't.
22:29That's okay.
22:31The name I picked works either way.
22:34Jordan.
22:37It's a beautiful name.
22:38Okay.
22:46You can do the biopsy.
22:49I do trust you.
22:52Okay.
22:54Hey, we're doing the biopsy now.
22:56I talked to my contact in social services to see about trying to track down a brother.
23:00Oh, I can't imagine that's going to be easy.
23:02Where is the den, mother?
23:04Last I saw in the waiting area.
23:05And I'm pretty sure that the biopsy is going to show a stromal tumor.
23:09Oh, that's why you asked about the baby's growth spurt.
23:11If I'm right, it means the pregnancy hormones she's producing as a result of the delusion are feeding the tumor.
23:16They're accelerating its growth.
23:17The longer that Megan thinks she's pregnant, the worse this is going to get.
23:23You're in luck.
23:25I spoke to my people and Megan is all yours now.
23:29What?
23:29Are you kidding?
23:29You're going to abandon her?
23:32There's no place for her with us anymore.
23:34You have a nice day.
23:39Sorry.
23:40Amy, can I have a word?
23:42Sure.
23:48TJ's having some problems.
23:50He's giving the nurses a hard time, which is obviously not like him.
23:55There's no one he respects more than you, so...
23:58Yeah, of course.
23:58I'll talk to him.
23:59Appreciate it.
24:00Thanks.
24:00Hey, um, because of everything that happened, I didn't get a chance to apologize.
24:04What I said to you the other day...
24:05Let me just stop you there, okay?
24:07I will always be grateful for what you did for me with Rafi.
24:13But you were right.
24:14We're not friends.
24:15You said that in an awful way because you were acting out about something going on in your life,
24:20just like you did for all those years after your son died.
24:24And everything that happened yesterday, all of us being held at gunpoint.
24:29Do you realize you almost got Jake and TJ killed because of the things you didn't remember?
24:34This whole experiment of you being back, us all catering to your needs,
24:39it was misguided and narcissistic to begin with,
24:42but now we know it puts people in danger.
24:45So I'm going to say what no one else will.
24:48You don't belong here.
24:49Lucy, do you know where TJ is?
25:10Oh, he opened up his incision.
25:12He took him to the procedure room.
25:13Should be back in an hour or so.
25:15Okay, thanks.
25:16You're still here.
25:21I ended up with another patient.
25:23Where are your students?
25:25I put them on Scott.
25:26They're probably collecting stool samples right about now.
25:30How are you doing?
25:31Yeah, okay.
25:33All things considered.
25:35Yeah, I saw Michael down in OB.
25:37That must be hard for you.
25:39No.
25:44You have no choice.
25:46You okay?
25:48I just had a memory from the missing years, and you were in it.
25:54You're kidding me.
25:55We were at a restaurant, and there was chocolate cake and scotch, of course,
26:01and you said to me, you have no choice.
26:06Do you remember that?
26:07Do you know when that might have been or what we were talking about?
26:09It sounds like me, but we've had a lot of dinners, and you've made a lot of choices in the last eight years.
26:16Yeah, right.
26:18I'll think on it.
26:19Okay.
26:20Dinner this weekend?
26:22Yeah.
26:23Yeah.
26:23I'd love that.
26:24Okay.
26:25Clear four-chamber view.
26:33Proper valve function.
26:35He's a strong, healthy boy.
26:38Time to take him home.
26:41Shh.
26:42It's okay.
26:43It's okay.
26:44It's okay.
26:44It's okay.
26:44He's perfect.
26:56Yeah.
26:58I was worried.
27:00But he's healthy, right?
27:05I'm afraid to go home.
27:09Not because I think he's sick.
27:12He's not replacing Danny.
27:15Trust me, you have enough room in your heart for them both.
27:21Michael?
27:22Hey.
27:24I was...
27:25I have a patient on this floor, and I...
27:28Congrats.
27:30He's beautiful.
27:34We missed you.
27:41I can't believe that worked.
27:42Neither can I.
27:43How long's it been?
27:45Last one was, what, seven minutes ago?
27:47And how's the headache?
27:48It's finally going away.
27:49Chest pain, too.
27:52I'm so excited.
27:53I don't know what to do first.
27:54This has been the worst 11 days of my life.
27:57Well, luckily it's over.
27:59Get up!
27:59Inject the epinephrine.
28:05Inject the epinephrine.
28:09Tumor's big.
28:11Yeah.
28:15Tighten up.
28:16I got it.
28:19She's in V-fib.
28:32Clear the field.
28:33I need to shock the patient.
28:34Doesn't make sense.
28:35She's got no cardiac history.
28:38It's not V-fib.
28:39She's having myoclonic tetany.
28:42No, no.
28:42Stop.
28:43Stop.
28:43Wait.
28:43It's not cardiac.
28:44It's a hormonal storm caused by the tumor.
28:46Two milligrams of Ivarazepam.
28:47Are you sure?
28:48Do it.
29:00Tetany stopped.
29:02We got an almost sinus rhythm again.
29:08I got it all.
29:10And she's sleeping now.
29:12Good.
29:14It's almost over.
29:15Not for Megan.
29:18For her, the hell is just about to start.
29:24A Jordan Collier is here to see you.
29:28Megan's brother.
29:30Jordan was her name for the baby.
29:34Trying to find her for years.
29:36She's been living off the grid on a farm.
29:39There isn't much information on the group,
29:41but it has all the hallmarks of a cult.
29:44I was 12 when we got separated.
29:46I guess we both changed a lot.
29:49She told us she was in foster care,
29:50but not much more than that.
29:52Mom died in childbirth with her.
29:55Dad emotionally checked out.
29:58Then he really checked out.
30:00For a while, we lived on our own,
30:02surviving on whatever we could scrape together.
30:04Until DCYF came and separated you.
30:07And everything good was gone.
30:09Well, I'm glad you're here now.
30:13In light of my failure at intervention,
30:17I started thinking,
30:18your case must be structural.
30:2011 days ago at the gym,
30:21did you work shoulders?
30:23Yeah.
30:23Yeah, I did shrugs.
30:24Okay.
30:26Raise your right arm.
30:27Something's supposed to happen.
30:30You're going to know when you feel it.
30:31Now you're left?
30:34There's a tingling in my fingers.
30:36Congratulations.
30:38You have a lipoma
30:39right at the nexus of the brachial plexus
30:41and the phrenic nerve.
30:42Why is she congratulating me?
30:44Because this time, she can fix you.
30:48Megan, there's something we need to tell you.
30:51This is your ultrasound from this morning.
30:56There's no baby there.
30:58There was never a baby.
31:01No.
31:02No, look at me.
31:03I'm pregnant.
31:04I know.
31:05It's hard to process,
31:06but you have a condition
31:07where your body mimics...
31:08No, you're lying.
31:09You took my baby.
31:11Get Anne.
31:11Where's Anne?
31:12Anne went back to the commune.
31:14What?
31:14No, no.
31:15She would never leave us.
31:16Well, she left
31:16because there's no baby.
31:17No, no, no.
31:19You took my baby.
31:20Where's my baby?
31:21Stop, stop, stop, stop.
31:21Open your mouth.
31:22Don't pull it out.
31:23Right, grab her arm.
31:24I hear you're not being
31:40a very good patient.
31:42Uh, were you?
31:44Um, I inserted myself
31:46into Jake's case
31:47from my bedside.
31:48Almost killed his patient.
31:50And I crashed a board meeting
31:52with a bandage on my head
31:53demanding to come back to work,
31:54so not so much.
31:57I think I was out that day.
31:59Shame I missed it.
32:03Do me a favor, okay?
32:05Don't punish the people
32:07who are trying to take care of you.
32:09That is one thing
32:11that I am not going to do over.
32:19I need to know
32:21if you still love her.
32:23Nora.
32:24It'll break my heart,
32:26but it'll be a thousand times worse
32:28if you deny it
32:30because you feel guilty.
32:31I love you.
32:32And I'm not going anywhere.
32:37You did something to the baby
32:51during the surgery.
32:53I know it.
32:54And why would we do that?
32:56Why would we take your baby from you?
32:58Maybe because you
32:59thought I wouldn't take good care of it.
33:02There is another possibility to consider.
33:06Maybe after a lifetime of being ignored,
33:09you finally felt seen.
33:11You have a choice now.
33:14You can cling to that belief,
33:16inspire further from the life you deserve,
33:18or you can take the harder path,
33:20accept what's real,
33:22grieve it,
33:23and start to heal.
33:26But you don't have to do it alone.
33:34Jordan will help you.
33:36Hi, Max.
33:37I'm telling you,
33:48she humiliated this other doctor
33:50in front of a room full of people.
33:51If she's demanding her colleagues
33:53rise to her standards,
33:54so be it.
33:55You're not getting me.
33:57I don't even recognize her right now.
33:59I don't know what's going on at home,
34:01but as far as her career,
34:02she's on the road to being named chief
34:04and finally living up to her potential.
34:06Well, what's going on at home
34:08is we're falling apart.
34:09I know you're having dinner with her tonight.
34:11And you want me to mediate.
34:13I can barely get her to show up
34:15to couples counseling,
34:16and Gina can't get through to her.
34:18She trusts you, looks up to you.
34:19Can you just try?
34:21We're not surviving this.
34:23Of course.
34:24Of course, Michael.
34:26I'll do whatever I can.
34:29How'd it go?
34:41You tell us.
34:48Okay, we're not waiting all night.
34:50They're not coming back.
34:51I promise.
34:53Just tell me, how bad is a scar over my egg?
34:56I hid the incision in a tattoo at your clavicle.
34:59Can't ruin a man's art.
35:02Didn't think I had it in me, did ya?
35:03Don't you have a baby to take home?
35:13First, I have a proposition.
35:15Oh.
35:16Okay.
35:17I know you don't like to be tied down,
35:19but would you maybe consider
35:20being chief of internal medicine
35:22at the best hospital in Minneapolis?
35:25Michael...
35:26You can have free reign to do it how you like.
35:28Salary's competitive.
35:31Okay, fine.
35:32It's a 15% pay cut.
35:33The hours are horrible.
35:35Dr. Coleman was shot yesterday,
35:37not far from where we're sitting.
35:38You know, it's customary for the CMO
35:40to woo the potential chief
35:42by telling them how right they'd be for the position.
35:45We all know how smart and talented I am,
35:47and I come with the added bonus
35:49of being your ex-wife's friend and mentor,
35:51so maybe despite your new family,
35:53you're still trying to take care of Amy.
35:56Which is lovely.
35:57So you'll do it?
35:59No.
36:00I didn't want to have to appeal to your humanity,
36:02but I need you,
36:04and you always go where you're needed.
36:09Just give me a year.
36:11Three years.
36:13Options are mine.
36:14No non-compete.
36:15I get complete autonomy.
36:17Hiring, firing, budget.
36:19No board reviews for a year.
36:21I don't want those politicos breathing down my neck.
36:23Well, I can manage them.
36:24I need you to guarantee me
36:25one day a week of dedicated OR time.
36:27I know you love to cut.
36:29And I get to name my successor.
36:30Never gonna happen.
36:31Detail power?
36:36Congratulations.
36:42How is Megan?
36:44It'll take some time,
36:45but
36:45she'll be okay.
36:48Do you think the me from a year ago
36:57would have had a problem lying to her like that?
37:00No.
37:01That Amy was a master of detachment.
37:03Would have done whatever it took
37:05without a second thought.
37:07Probably easier for me like that.
37:09Maybe.
37:09I still prefer this version.
37:17What did I do to you, Gina?
37:20Let's just say it was death by a thousand cuts.
37:27When you lost Danny,
37:28I felt like I lost you.
37:31And when I really needed you,
37:33you weren't there for me.
37:35Did we ever talk about it?
37:39What could I say?
37:41Compared to what you were going through,
37:43everything else felt trivial.
37:46I'm glad you're telling me now.
37:48And I know that
37:50I'm sorry sounds so hollow,
37:52but I am so sorry.
37:55I'll do whatever it takes
37:56to make this right.
37:59How do you even fix a thousand cuts?
38:02With a thousand stitches.
38:03How are you doing?
38:22I apologize to Liz.
38:24That's good.
38:26You sent Amy to talk to me.
38:27You needed it.
38:37I'm an army ranger.
38:39Asking for help,
38:40I don't...
38:41Leaning on people
38:42isn't a sign of weakness, TJ.
38:47I honestly don't know
38:48how I'm going to get through this.
38:49Have a good night.
39:05I had some memories.
39:08Of what?
39:10It doesn't matter.
39:11The point is,
39:13now at least I have some hope
39:15that maybe I can remember
39:16me
39:17and us.
39:22I know I can't ask you to wait.
39:24But you still want me to.
39:26You were never
39:27my security blanket, Jake.
39:30Never.
39:31Look, I know you're trying.
39:32But I just don't think
39:34you're being honest
39:35with yourself.
39:38If there was no Nora
39:39and Michael didn't have a baby
39:41and he said
39:42you should go home
39:43to him and Katie,
39:44would you really say no?
39:47Please.
39:49Just stop this.
39:50Sometimes I wonder
40:04if I'm ever gonna
40:06make it home again
40:08It's so far
40:11and out of sight
40:13I really need someone
40:19to talk to
40:20and nobody else
40:23knows how
40:24you can use a drink.
40:27You buy it?
40:30Snow is cold,
40:33rain is wet
40:35and chills my soul
40:39right to the marrow
40:41I won't be happy
40:46till I see you
40:48what are you doing?
40:52You're right.
40:53Yeah, I'm good.
40:54I'm gonna guess
40:55can you get it?
40:56Baby
40:56Bye.
41:26I won't be happy till I see you alone again, till I'm home again and feeling right.
41:52Till I'm home again and feeling right.
41:59I wanna be home again and feeling right.
42:19That's brutal.
42:20Couple's counseling isn't helping?
42:24That's a legitimate question.
42:27From the woman who thinks shrinks are all charlatans.
42:31Individual therapy is just paying someone to watch you gaze at your navel and then ask how you feel about it.
42:35But with a couple, at least it does force both parties to communicate.
42:39What's there left to say?
42:44It hasn't already been said.
42:46I'll tell you.
42:47He's always held you back.
42:49But now, when you look at him, all you see is the man who you think let your son die.
42:54That's bad for you.
42:56What you have to do now is hard but clear.
43:00You have no choice.
43:02You have to leave him.
43:03You have no choice.
43:04You have to leave him.
43:06You have to leave him.
43:08You have to leave him.
